a long time the us state department and the policymaking community in washington were blinded by their own ideological blinkers far from bringing western style democracy human rights and all things bright and beautiful i don't think it requires a degree of tomic physics to grasp the reality of the in the world democratization means islam is ation there with riots or violence and protests were the white house has had a cyber war and its damage control efforts google and his you tube web site have declined to take the controversial video down despite u.s. government pleas as artie's guy nature can explains that decision is in keeping with washington starts not from too long ago. film may not have been the only reason behind the mass rage in the muslim world but it did provide the spark that lit the power to catch the eye of. the
10:07 am
obama administration began their damage control efforts by bashing the film this video is disgusting and reprehensible but the same time maintaining that internet freedom cannot be curtailed we do not stop individual citizens from expressing their views no matter how distasteful they may be when the rage against the u.s. spread like wildfire with people in different countries storming u.s. embassies was the white house asked you tube to quote review the video to see if it was in compliance with their terms of use end of quote the company determined that the video was within guidelines but they did block it in a number of countries including libya egypt pakistan india and indonesia but i don't think there's much that they can do about the fact that there's social
10:08 am
network tools are now in play in a situation where the effect is clearly going to be to mobilize anti-american sentiment in an america and american activity in the wake of the arab spring the obama administration has been advertising the internet as a great tool to bring about change the policy involves spending millions of dollars to train activists in the muslim world on how to take advantage of the internet. we want to keep the internet open for the protestor using social media to organize a march in egypt the college student emailing her family photos of her semester abroad the lawyer in vietnam blogging to expose corruption but nowhere on hillary clinton's plans was there a person with a film mocking the prophet muhammad or thousands of angry people venting their rage over american policy towards the muslim world it seems a very work in the state department hoped would further the arab spring has now
10:09 am
backfired the fact of the matter is that the air net as wonderful as it is is also full of junk which means anything in offensive text an offensive film can potentially provoke mass rage in different parts of the world many now see that the internet alone can bring change and sometimes it can be the fastest way to spread violence and chaos in washington i'm going to check on. what many are wondering just who is stirring up the muslim world one of the issues we discuss with former extremists are now on the trail against radical islam the interview with all the talk is coming up in about an hour and twenty minutes excuse me twenty one minutes from now.
10:10 am
i just now are ten minutes past six or early evening here in moscow this is artsy the sexual assault case against whistleblower julian assange and sweden shows signs of unraveling a crucial piece of evidence brought forward by one of the accusers produced no forensic results. in london with details. beautiful trees in sweden were unable to find traces of judy in the songes d.n.a. on the court and on that was submitted by one of these two women that sick used in the sexual assault now lawyers for julian assange say that that's because the condom submitted could be a fake julian assange has always denied any wrongdoing he says that he's innocent and that he had consensual sex with those women now the trees that were searching for his d.n.a. did find traces of his d.n.a.
10:11 am
on another condom submitted by the second woman that's accused him but it's turning into a rather farcical situation because the report says that that particular woman that accused julian assange she says that he sexually assaulted her by refusing to wear a condom so there's a lot of holes in this story it looks like and julian assange says that he's happy to face questioning by the swedish investigators if they were to question him over in london where he's currently residing in the ecuadorian embassy because he says that the swedish authorities aren't able to give him any guarantees that he won't be extradited over to the usa on trumped up charges that he says operatically motivated. reporting from london while still ahead for you in this hour here on our . just one step from hero to last one survivor of the london july seventh terror attacks once praised as an icon of british courage now faces deportation

left in limbo by the u.k.'s much criticized immigration agency. and the japanese protests if it china as the volatile dispute over who owns a series of violence escalates and the fallout over the archipelago dispute has been widening between tokyo and beijing since japan decided to bypass china and by the territories from private investors this comes as washington. tokyo agreed to put a second and t. missile defense system in japan claiming it will be focusing on deterring north korean aggression but james corbet editor of the colbert report think he actually lives in japan he thinks the system will be deployed for all the wrong reasons. there is going to have to be some sort of dialogue and one certainly hopes that it will come quicker because the demonstrations are starting to get out of hand in china and some real damage is being done of course not only to to japanese interests but even to owners of japanese restaurants or people who drive japanese
10:13 am
cars in china are now being attacked in these protests and as a result we're starting to see the mirror opposite here in japan obviously not rioting or anything of that sort but there is an increase in the rate we nationalists riding around with their loudspeakers with their empty chinese slogans at cetera so it's definitely creating increased tensions and the only way out of this is for some sort of diplomatic breakthrough and it doesn't look like the two parties are really willing to come to the table at this point to the idea that this new expand radar is going to be really aimed at north korea not to china is that is about as silly as saying that the missile defense shield going up in europe is not aimed at russia i think we all know that it is expressly beijing and beijing's intercontinental ballistic missile capabilities which are only increasing as they continue to spend more and more on their military capabilities so it's definitely going to have an effect in ratcheting up tensions even further. at a time now for the arts a walled up that some of the international headlines in brief for you a u.n.
10:14 am
report on the syrian civil war has lashed out at both sides for committing war crimes it warned of rising violence against civilians as the conflict spirals off troll their best guess of also warn of an increasing presence of foreign militants acting to radicalize the armed opposition the panel presented its findings as the new un envoy to syria lakhdar brahimi wrapped up his first visit to the country admitting he still has no plan on how to end the conflict. three people have died and more than one hundred injured in a rail collision in southeastern pakistan one train was hit in the rear by another not far from the city of karachi the road that work in pakistan has been facing serious challenges for some time due to an aging infrastructure and financial mismanagement. now a man that once celebrated as an icon of bravery after surviving the seven seven london bombings is now facing deportation from the u.k.

immigration authorities say a second citizenship in australia could be enough to see him kicked out artie's laura smith investigates in the days after the seven seven terrorist attack in london john tulloh bloodied face was a familiar sight in newspapers and on t.v. screens sitting opposite mohammad sidique khan when he detonated his deadly bomb he credits his suitcase with saving his life seven years on tulloch a university professor is back on the front page but this time because he's been threatened with deportation so extremely helpful and. immigration officer at heathrow terminal so if you try for another six months are antenna will be are thinking that you might be trying to get around the immigration acts and whatever we decide that if you try to third time we'll put you on the plane. born in india to a serving british officer tullock came home to britain aged three and was educated
10:16 am
here graduating from cambridge university after he got his doctorate he went to australia where he'd been offered a job he had no idea that taking australian citizenship would jeopardize his british passport so there's no better place to check than in your own passport and the inside back cover of the passport it says i have a right to your nationality not so according to the u.k. borders agency and tulloch whose father served his country and his grandfather and great grandfather also worked for the empire in india is it what he calls a catholic or ethic situation we've done so much for britain and the world to set us up in the face as an understatement my brother's here or his side my cousins are here so yeah it's it's. it's frustrating i find it very insulting to my family and very disheartening. it's another twist in the
10:17 am
case much maligned immigration laws under which someone like professor tulloch is that risk but all of them are left avery characters are allowed to stay in fact commentators say if tulloch had been a partner traitor of a terrorist attack rather than a victim he might have a better chance of living here harris meant free be seen several people convicted terrorists including somebody he was convicted of providing a safe house for the twenty one seven bombers. allowed to stay in this country because deporting them were violating human rights it's quite clear that the immigration system is. skewed against people who actually you know contribute usefully to this country and and works in favor of useless parasites like this man tulloch is in limbo the borders agency says it will help him resolve his
10:18 am
predicament but he'll have to jump through hoops to stay in the country his family has called home since the fourteenth century the great irony is that so many times i saw my picture in the papers now on television after seven serve and it said words are next to it like british british resistance british spirit but this is my home and this is my place and so you want to be able to come in and out as any other bridges is able to do for now though tarlac can't leave for fear he won't be able to return laura smith artie carter. but we're coming to live in the heart of moscow this is our it is exactly a year since the occupy wall street movement kicked off in new york's zuccotti park protesting against corporate greed it's spread all across america and abroad despite a traditionally have you had a response from the police. as well to regain some of men some with mass rallies on

10:20 am
helicopters are ready hovering overhead and there is a lot of activity going on it seems as times as the time passes the crowds are growing bigger and larger and we have to mention that the grievances that we heard come out of this movement one year ago have not changed these people are out in the streets fighting against the economic inequality here in the u.s. influence on u.s. politics and they're marking their one year here in new york city but thirty cities throughout the country are reportedly also hosting a dance but of course this movement began here in the heart of the world's financial district. and this is where the events are taking place today. our marina we're just getting some details here now allegedly from the president of the national lawyers guild apparently over seventy a rest of the occupy wall street demonstration by ten am new york time so the police there in their full riot gear

certainly having a busy day so far but as as we all know it's the one year anniversary now of the start of the movement it's been a tough year for those who have remaining gazed in it and what kind of a hurdles have they had to try and get over during all of this. well they have a lot of hurdles to get over and i just want to mention already you cited the national lawyers guild a few hours ago they were out and about telling activists to write their phone numbers on the back of their hands the phone number to the national lawyers guild so if anybody were to arrest you can immediately now clearly the police are one hurdle for these activists to be getting over when it comes to storming the streets but there are bigger hurdles when it comes to the problems of the u.s. system the way the political landscape is shaping out and has been a ping out for years and decades and finally when it comes to that the state of the u.s. economy these activists and all of their supporters say there needs to be
